Democratic Arizona governor deploys National Guard to the southern border after THOUSANDS of migrants surge across to the US at Lukeville
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs signed an executive order deploying members of the National Guard to Arizona's southern border
- The border crossing at Lukeville was shut down following record breaking border crossing in the Tucson sector and has created a humanitarian crisis
- Border patrol agents have been warned to be vigilant after Mexico's military seized ten improvised explosive devices at the Arizona border
Hobbs, a Democrat, issued the order Friday sighting the federal government's decision to shut down the Lukeville, Arizona port of entry which she said has caused an 'unmitigated humanitarian crisis' in the area.

The governor has accused President Joe Biden of failing to secure the southern border, and is seeking half a billion dollars in federal reimbursement for the state's spending on the crisis.
'Yet again, the federal government is refusing to do its job to secure our border and keep our communities safe,' Hobbs said.
'With this Executive Order, I am taking action where the federal government won’t. But we can’t stand alone, Arizona needs resources and manpower to reopen the Lukeville crossing, manage the flow of migrants, and maintain a secure, orderly and humane border.'
In the executive order, the governor said there are already approximately 2,500 National Guard members on the southern border, 243 of which are in the Tucson sector.
However, the federal government has denied prior request to move more members to Arizona and help reopen Lukeville.
It is not specified how many National Guard members the governor is requesting. AZ Family reported the members will be stationed at multiple border locations, including Lukeville and the San Miguel crossing.
The Tucson area, which Lukeville is part of, saw a record breaking 12,000 migrant crossings in one day last week.
Which led to 17,500 encounters in a single week - the highest weekly total ever recorded.
US Customs and Border Protection data reported 253,315 southwest land border encounters in December so far.
